May 2018
Join us on May 24 to walk, talk and learn about Walk Sheds
What are Walk Sheds and why do they matter?
"Complete Streets," o nes that serve all transportation modes and people of all ages and abilities, has been the buzzword for bicycle and pedestrian planning for over a decade. 
Show us your walking route
People we spoke with who walked to Ponce City Market traveled on 29 different roads

But are Complete Streets the concept that matters most to people who walk? 

Think about it. People who walk rarely travel miles on a single road. Trips are shorter.  And to reach destinations, people come from all directions.

Join us on Thursday, May 24 to explore the half-mile area surrounding the Georgia State MARTA station and talk about how we can make sidewalks and safe crossings in Walk Sheds a funding priority in Atlanta.

Thurs, May 24
6:00 - 7:30 pm
170 Piedmont Ave.
meet outside Georgia State MARTA station

Together, we'll walk, talk, learn, have fun and make a difference!
GDOT adopts Pedestrian Safety Action Plan
It's official! The Georgia Department of Transportation adopted the Georgia Pedestrian Safety Action Plan we helped develop in 2017-2018.
GA Pedestrian Safety Action Plan - cover

The 106-page plan promotes objective data-driven decision making and increased investment in pedestrian safety solutions. It also aligns safety funding with proven countermeasures and targets locations with high needs and opportunities for success.

The PSAP identifies strategies and action items that will enable the state to reverse the upward trend in pedestrian fatalities. It also names responsible parties for achieving each.
 
Moving from planning to implementation
Now the real work begins: Holding parties accountable for implementing proposed action steps. 

With your continued support, we'll make sure that state agencies don't allow the plan to become something that just sits on a shelf.
Please update your address book: We moved!
Talk about convenience! Our office is now in Harris Tower, just above the Peachtree Center MARTA station and next door to the Atlanta Regional Commission.
